Selected and introduced by Stephen Carver‘The beauty of the scene was strangely uplifting. Yet, ever at the back of his thoughts, lay that other aspect of the wilderness: the indifference to human life, the merciless spirit of desolation which took no note of man.’ – The Wendigo ‘Of the quality of Mr. Blackwood’s genius there can be no dispute … he is the one absolute and unquestioned master of weird atmosphere.’ – H.P. Lovecraft Algernon Blackwood (1869 – 1951) – ‘The Ghost Man’ – was a British broadcaster, journalist, traveller, mystic, and paranormal investigator, and, above all, a prolific author of weird, occult, and supernatural fiction. Often, he wrote about the untamed wilderness, from deserts to vast, primeval forests, vividly depicting a natural environment that is at once awe-inspiring, alien and hostile. Many of Blackwood’s most famous tales – such as The Wendigo and ‘The Willows’ (both included in this collection) – are set in the empty places of the world. Like his psychic detective ‘John Silence’, Blackwood was fascinated by elemental spirits, reincarnation, other dimensions, and higher states of consciousness. Wherever such things broke through, he sought them out, and now so can you in this comprehensive collection of ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Selected and introduced by Stephen CarverThe draped effigy just behind him worried him again. He had been trying, at the back of his mind, behind the other thoughts, to strangle the thought of it. But it was there—very close to him. Suppose it put out its hand, its wax hand, and touched him. But it was of wax: it could not move. No, of course not. But suppose it did?Best known as the author of The Railway Children, beloved British children's writer Edith Nesbit had a morbid fear of the dark. Childhood trauma had also left her haunted by the thought that dead things might return, and copies of the living become horribly animated. These deep-rooted fears are the foundation of her horror and supernatural fiction. Frequently overlooked by readers and biographers, Nesbit's weird and uncanny stories belong to the 'Golden Age of the Ghost Story' - that period from Dickens to M.R. James - and the 'Female Gothic', which uses horror as a veiled way to explore anxieties over motherhood, domestic abuse, and female sexuality.Nesbit's tales are short, sharp shockers, her delivery vivid, eerie, and unsettling. She wrote about what scared her: ghosts, zombies, 'things that walk'; madness, murder, ... Unknown localization key: "more"

In her three-decade career as a journalist, she has published more than 3,000 stories and won the Pulitzer Prize for feature writing.

Who wrote Cinderella? It may sound like a trick question but few would immediately think of a French author writing to entertain the court of Louis XIV of France. Although not as famous as other children’s storytellers, Charles Perrault is responsible for writing some of the best-known fairy tales ever told including Puss-in- Boots, The Sleeping Beauty, and Little Red Riding Hood as well as lesser-known stories like Bluebeard, The Fairies, Tufty Ricky, and Patient Griselda. Originally published in the 17th century, the stories of love, revenge, chivalry, magic, mystery and happy-ever-afters continue to be printed to this day, capturing the hearts of new audiences around the world. Folklorist Neil Philip retells the stories without losing any of the original flair and excitement, and his accompanying notes to the stories provide fascinating background detail on each fairy tale. This charming anthology has been beautifully illustrated by Sally Holmes, creating a book that children of all ages will cherish.

The name of the Marquis de Sade is synonymous with the blackest corners of the human soul, a byword for all that is foulest in human conduct. In his bleak, claustrophobic universe, there is no God, no morality, no human affection, and no hope. Power is given to the strong, and the strong are murderers, torturers, and tyrants. No quarter is given; compassion is the virtue of the weak. Yet Sade was a man of savage intelligence who carried the philosophy of the French Enlightenment to its logical extreme. His writings effectively release the individual from all social and moral constraint: for many, Sade is the Great Libertarian. The Victorians considered him `Divine'' and Apollinaire called him `the freest spirit''; the Surrealists recognised him as a founding father, and he is a key figure in the history of modernism and post-modernism. With Freud and Marx, Sade has been one of the crucial shaping influences on this century, and reactions to him continue to be extreme. But he has always been more talked about than read. This selection of his early writings, some making their first appearance in this new translation, reveals the full range of Sade''s sobering moods and considerable ...
